The present invention is concerned with the use of certain oxygen storage components. In particular, the use of special mixed oxides as oxygen storage components in exhaust catalysis is disclosed.

System and methods for reducing secondary emissions in an exhaust stream from an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The systems and methods include a filtration device positioned downstream from an SCR catalyst of an aftertreatment system disposed in the exhaust system. The filtration device can also be used for particulate filter diagnostics and for treatment of ammonia slip.

A diesel particulate filter coated with selective catalytic reduction includes: a support in which channels are formed from a front side to a rear side, a perovskite catalyst, and a selective catalytic reduction. In particular, the channels include an inlet channel which has an opened inlet and a closed outlet, and an outlet channel which is disposed adjacent to the inlet channel and has a closed inlet and an opened outlet. The perovskite catalyst is provided in an inner surface of the inlet channel, and the selective catalytic reduction is provided in an inner surface of the outlet channel. The perovskite catalyst is represented as La.sub.1-xAg.sub.xMnO.sub.3 (here, 0<X<1).

The present disclosure is directed to SCR catalysts, methods for their manufacture, and methods of treating emissions in an exhaust stream with them. The SCR catalysts are produced from pillaring and ion exchanging synthetic phyllosilicates, particularly hydrothermally synthesized phyllosilicates.

The present invention is concerned with oxygen storage materials. In particular an oxygen storage material (OSM) is proposed which comprises a certain mixed oxide as the oxygen storage component. The oxygen storage material can be used in conventional manner in three-way catalysts or NOx-storage catalysts for example.

A processing apparatus equipped with a catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure, which is characterized in that corrugated plate-like glass fiber papers having a functional catalyst supported thereon and flat plate-like glass fiber papers having the same functional catalyst supported thereon are alternately laminated without being bonded to each other, to form a catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure, and this catalyst-supporting honeycomb structure is packed in a casing.

An engine radiator cooling fluid circuit and an exhaust gas intercooler (EGI) radiator cooling fluid circuit are fluidically in parallel with one another. The engine radiator cooling fluid circuit extends from the radiator to an engine associated with a vehicle or a stationary system such as a CHP system. The EGI radiator cooling fluid circuit extends from a radiator to an EGI that cools exhaust gas as it flows through an exhaust conduit that extends from a first catalytic converter to a second catalytic converter. The radiator cooling fluid circuits can share a common radiator coil or each radiator cooling fluid circuit can be associated with a respective radiator coil in the radiator. A gas particulate filter can be coupled to the exhaust conduit or the second catalytic converter. An air-driven exhaust gas ejector (EGE) such as an engine charger compressor injects air into an inlet port in the exhaust conduit.

Catalyst articles having a first zone containing a first SCR catalyst and a second zone containing an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC), where the ammonia slip catalyst contains a second SCR catalyst and an oxidation catalyst, and the ASC has DOC functionality, where the first zone is located on the inlet side of the substrate and the second zone is located in the outlet side of the substrate are disclosed. The catalytic articles are useful for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx in exhaust gases, in reducing the amount of ammonia slip and in oxidizing organic residues. Exhaust systems containing the catalyst articles and methods of using the catalytic articles in an SCR process, where the amount of ammonia slip is reduced and hydrocarbon are oxidized by the ASC catalyst, are also described.

A plugged honeycomb structure including: a pillar-shaped honeycomb structure body having porous partition walls made of a material including silicon carbide, and plugging portions, wherein a porosity of the partition walls is from 42 to 52%, a thickness of the partition walls is from 0.15 to 0.36 mm, a ratio of a volume of pores having pore diameters of 10 m or less to a total pore volume of the partition walls is 41% or less, a ratio of a volume of pores having pore diameters in a range of 18 to 36 m to the total pore volume is 10% or less, the pore diameter indicating a maximum value of the log differential pore volume is in a range of 10 to 16 m, and a half-value width of a peak including the maximum value of the log differential pore volume is 5 m or less.

An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system including at least one catalyst. A NOx sensor is positioned down-stream of the SCR system. A controller is configured to determine an estimated engine NOx amount in the exhaust gas produced by an engine fluidly coupled to the aftertreatment system. The controller interprets an output value indicative of a first amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas downstream of the SCR system. The controller determines an adjusted engine NOx amount in response to the output value. A NOx sensor is positioned downstream of the selective catalytic reduction system and communicatively coupled to the controller. The NOx sensor is structured to provide the output value.
